Topic: If you would... (Read 2314 times)

Pete Buttigieg(Boot-i-judge), mayor of South Bend Indiana. The most impeccable public servant I have seen. He was in the running for DNC chair, but dropped out at the last minute, to continue serving South Bend. The only drawback, is that an openly gay man would have about zero chance of getting elected. If anybody could work with both sides, to get things done, though, it would be Pete Buttigieg. Someone you should know.

Bernie comes to mind although he has his flaws and I'm sure there are better choices, but none that I can really think of at the moment, but I heard Hillary wants to run again, so maybe they will find a way to make sure there are no really progressive candidates this time around to make her look bad in comparison. After Obama's recent screwing of the progressives by interfering to make sure Keith Ellison was not elected, they deserve another term of Trump, then 8 years of Cruz and 8 years of the first female president, Ivanka.

I do not trust Ellison. He is a convert to Islam, that means he wasn't born with the religion - he chose it out of conviction. That doesn't sound very progressive to me, because Islam is the antithesis of what we stand for.

Another sell out, like Jill Stein. If you want a woman you can respect ... Rep Tulsi Gabbard, from Hawaii.

Sellout? How so?

I do not compare the two. Regardless of stances and extracurriculars, one needs to be pragmatic in politics. Stein isn't. She never intended to become president -- a waste of people's money, that's all. Running on third party ticket in two-party system is recipe for failure -- I wouldn't invest a dime in that campaign even if my life depended on it.

Bernie ran with two party system, then endorsed lesser of two evils. Warren endorsed lesser of two evils, too, after Democrat contender emerged. She is politically savvy; it may not be attractive to ideologues, but it would win an election.

Not very familiar with Tulsi Gabbard, so I will look into her. Thanks.
